Tuesday, December 4th, 2012Chris Beatrice article at Game-Wisdom
Chris outlines the role, history pros and cons of "walkers" - a highly debated element of gameplay in city-building games.

Of Walkers and Men (and Women): City-Building by Design

In a recent developer diary entry, later followed by an interview, I discussed the concept of "walkers" in city-building games, and how Tilted Mill’s forthcoming game, Medieval Mayor, would use walker-based systems. To some this was welcome news... to others, cause for concern. Later, in an email conversation with Josh Bycer, I found myself expounding, on this complicated, and perhaps misunderstood area of city-building game design. How could such a seemingly narrow subject be the source of such heated debate?...

Tuesday, October 16th, 2012Tilted Mill Goes Medieval!
BUILD A CITY, ILLUMINATE THE WORLDIndependent Developer to Release New City-Building Game set in the Middle Ages

Tilted Mill Entertainment -- independent developers of strategy, simulation and role-playing games – today announced Medieval Mayor, a real time strategy city-building game set to release next year. The game represents a return to the team's roots on such city-building classics as Pharaoh™, Caesar™ and Zeus™.

The game begins in the dark ages where you must establish, build and govern a city by planning and laying out road networks, building housing, attracting immigrants and advancing education, culture, commerce, science and the arts, while also providing for the health and prosperity of your citizens. As your city continues to grow, so do the challenges of managing it - will your city become a beacon of hope and light to the known world, or will it fall back into darkness?

"Medieval Mayor has that wonderful combination of depth, challenge and straightforward gameplay loved by fans of the genre," said Chris Beatrice, president of Tilted Mill and the game's lead designer. "We want to bring the thrill of real time, strategic city-building to a new audience, while also giving our core fans a game they'll really love."

With its "easy to learn, difficult to master" gameplay and almost infinite replayability, Medieval Mayor represents the best the city-building genre has to offer. Additional game modes and options support everything from sandbox play, for a lighter experience, to "impossible" mode, for those who really want to test themselves.

Medieval Mayor will be available for download next year for PC and tablet.

Tuesday, September 30th 2008IT'S TIME TO LOOT, LEVEL AND BUILD!
Hinterland is now available for purchase via Steam!

September 30, 2008 – Tilted Mill Entertainment -- independent developers of strategy, simulation and role-playing games – today announced the release of Hinterland, a fantasy PC title with fast paced RPG combat and strategic town-building.

In Hinterland you lead a diverse cast of characters to establish a small haven in the wild backcountry of a fantasy kingdom, then carefully select certain individuals to leave their comfortable homes and join your party on expeditions of exploration and conquest in the surrounding lands. There you’ll encounter hostile enemies, and fight to secure much needed resources to expand your settlement - iron to make weapons, a mystic tome to entice a great mage to join you, or perhaps just magic oats! Success means fame, fortune and prosperity – failure means starvation and disgrace. Games can be as short as forty five minutes or as long as five or six hours, depending on your choice of difficulty, game length, map reveal, resource availability, presence of raiders, and other customizable options, as well as which of the fifteen character classes you choose to play, from Knight or Elf Ranger, to Architect or Entrepreneur.

“Hinterland is about sitting down for an hour or two, and having loads of fun playing a different kind of Strategy RPG game, and then doing it again in a totally different way… and again… and again - without not having to shell out a ton of money for that luxury,” said Chris Beatrice, president of Tilted Mill. “It’s a deliberate effort to get away from the mega blockbuster lens flair, screen shot extravaganza and instead focus on gameplay.”

“Sometimes we don’t have time or feel like sitting down for a four hour gaming session to conquer the world or cultivate our pond scum until it takes over the universe- we just want to sit down and have some fun!” said Jeff Fiske, co-designer of Hinterland. “The game has been referred to as ‘a casual game for core gamers’, and I wouldn’t argue with that characterization, though it really is a game for all kinds of gamers.”

Friday, September 26th 2008Hinterland Slated for Release Monday
We're excited to announce that Hinterland is about to go gold, and we expect it to be available through Steam (for $19.99) early next week!

Tuesday, September 23rd 2008Hinterland Site Update

Saturday, September 20th 2008Hinterland Release Date Update
Hinterland was on target to be released this Monday, the 22nd of September. However, we have decided to delay its release a week or two, so that we may implement some additional features and content to the game, many of which came from the excellent suggestions we've received from the community. We want to thank you all for your support and patience. We know this delay may be disappointing to some, but we're confident it will ultimately provide a better play experience for all.

Thank you,
Tilted Mill Team

The Hinterland site has been updated with a new batch of screenshots!

Wednesday, September 10th 2008Alexandria now available!
We are pleased to announce that Children of the Nile: Alexandria has been released!
This is the first official city pack for Children of the Nile: Enhanced Edition. It includes a new campaign, new monuments and more. Currently Alexandria is available for digital download via
Impulse, but will be coming to other providers soon.

Stardock announced today that Tilted Mill's Children of the Nile: Alexandria, an addition to the Children of the Nile: Enhanced Edition PC game, is now available for $5.99 on Stardock’s digital download platform Impulse (www.impulsedriven.com).

Using the unique city-building dynamics of Children of the Nile, players can carve out a new dynasty to rule all of Egypt, and build the greatest city of the ancient world. Each civilian in the city is a fully developed person, with wants and needs. Tend to their needs and they will work for you so that you can create a powerful empire and a lasting legacy.

"We're very happy that our ongoing partnership with Stardock has allowed us to bring another installment in this unique series to an important and highly valued audience," said Chris Beatrice, founder and president of Tilted Mill Entertainment. "We look forward to continuing to develop the series in the months to come."

Monday, September 1st 2008Hinterland Preview
PC Gamer/GamesRadar has published a preview of Hinterland!
Here's a snippit:

As excited as everyone is by Diablo III, you find yourself wondering: what else could an RPG be? Is collecting loot, side-questing, selling to shopkeepers (and repeat) the only way to do it? Hinterland is built off the same fantasy ingredients we're used to seeing in RPGs, and you can spot the inspiration - Diablo, Rogue-games, Dwarf Fortress, city-builders - but we've never seen the ideas mashed up like this. "In making it, we kind of had this 'why didn’t someone make this before?' feeling," says Jeff Fiske, co-designer.

Tuesday, August 26th 2008New Insiders / Hinterland Beta Test!
We are now accepting new applications for the Tilted Mill Insider program! Insiders get access to our games while still in development, reporting any bugs and providing feedback directly to the developers. If you'd like to help test our games, simply fill out this application. We will be accepting a new batch of Insiders very soon as we ramp up for the Hinterland beta test!

Tilted Mill Entertainment -- independent developers of strategy, simulation and role-playing games – today announced Hinterland, a new PC project for release later this summer. In Hinterland, you build up and lead a small village, populated by simple townsfolk struggling to survive and prosper in the wild back country of a medieval fantasy world. Leading small parties of adventurers drawn from the ranks of the townspeople themselves, you undertake quests outside the village, seeking to conquer various foes, and collect treasure, magic items and knowledge which will, in turn, fuel your village. As your village becomes stronger, you'll forge your own weapons, manufacture magic items and potions, and tame the wild land. Loot, Level and Build in the Hinterland!
